I always miss CA this time of year, when the snow is looming! (NoCal girl here) The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid is high on my 9 year olds must read list right now and I make sweet potato pancakes with vanilla maple syrup - to die for! Hope you have a great trip!

Nothing like going home...wherever that happens to be. Have a terrific time. You will be missed. Hope you just leave this all behind and relax with family. Oh yeah...and eat something really bad for you EVERYDAY! Holly at lifelaughlatte.blogspot.com

Holly, have a wonderful visit! I love the pictures. I hope Joe takes what's behind door #2. Congrats on the awards, btw. Holly and Charisse gave me the great idea of putting them into a slide.com slideshow to save space. Thought you might enjoy that little tip-er-oo, since you're awards are stackin' up! Love ya, Jenn

I just went to LA for the first time back in August to meet a new co-worker. She is from Long Beach. I had the BEST TIME, loved LA and guess what-we went to Shoreline Village, I got the cutest purses and wedges at one of the shops for dirt cheap! And we ate at that restaurant on the Marina. SO FUN! Have a great time!

I think L.A is best when you explore the smaller cities and little treasures. Their are so many great cities surrounding L.A....that you will not even feel like you are in L.A. I love those little places...of course I love downtown L.A and the history and the Old Hollywood stuff. I learned a lot about those things when I was a wedding planner and had the opportunity to do some amazing things in some historical locales.

Just letting you know I stopped by and love your blog - & also joined the wedding blog as I'm 33 and NEVER been married! I'm hoping that blog and information will come in handy some day....ya know - soon after hell freezes over! ;-)

And I'm dying over here waiting on that pumpkin pancake recipe...a few times I've just put in some canned pumpkin & cinnamon, but somehow I'm sure that won't be anything like whatever you have in store!

Ah you are making me homesick! My mom still lives in Long Beach, MIL lives in Cerritos! I remember being pregnant, walking around Shoreline Villae with my mom and going into labor! Hm, I think I'm going to have to scrap about this! Hope you had a great vacation!
